1) Prerequisites

Your Linux box should have Kernel version 2.6.29 (at least). The server is developed on top of the Kernel features, so using an older version can cause some buggy behaviors.

2) Install Monkey HTTP Server on Linux

There is no official package available for monkey HTTP server to any distribution, so we need to install/compile it from source.
